    Verdict

    AL THAKHIRA flopped in the Juvenile Fillies at the Breeders' Cup in November but had won the Rockfel in good style over 7f at Newmarket before that. A big run here should see her take up an engagement in the 1000 Guineas. Joyeuse is also aiming for next month's fillies Classic at Newmarket and this longer trip should suit after a three length defeat in the Cheveley Park in September. J Wonder failed to cope with Lucky Kristale in the Lowther at York while Beldale Memory didn't handle the fast ground in the Queen Mary at Ascot when last seen at the track. Coral Mist won a Group 3 at Ayr and is preferred to stablemate Dutch Romance and the Newmarket handicap winner Dutch Courage, although a line through Valonia gives her a bit to find with the selection.
